Spring barley harvest started for us last week and has so far been very stop start, with the opportunity to cut reasonably dry malting barley limited to three sunny afternoons.

We finally felt like we had turned a corner with our farming enterprise. We were above target for the year in terms of silage, cattle growth and our bank balance.

In what has been an all or nothing sort of year when it comes to grass growing weather, August is defying expectations and turning out to be bang on, with plenty of rain and warmth to boot.
